Bad wheel bearing.....which brand to get?
With nice weather, I drove slowly with the windows open the other day. I heard some grinding noise and decided to check out if they are caused by bad wheel bearings. Put the car on the jack stands and rotated each wheels. No play when shaking them side to side and top and bottom. I think both...

Timken and F*G I’d consider good brands.
Yes SKF is a top brand
SKF is one of the good choices.
Odd issue on the 2010 accent (previous car to 2020 elantra)--This is from memory.
Both from wheel bearings died around 5k miles then one of those died at 8k (3k miles on it)
The dealer wouldnt believe it. So I had it inspected at an independent and then sent them the bill.
The rear 2 also went out IIRC around 18-25k miles.
The replacements lasted until traded in about around 100k
it also had the hazard flasher replaced 5x.
4x in first year.
It was mostly reliable.. but it was crusty and rusting and in need of serious TLC when traded in.

SKF, yes they also have factories in China to supply their huge OE market but they are made by SKF not for SKF as seems to be the case with some other brands like Timken. FAG also has factories in China and are also very good.
From what Rock Auto carries, get the FAG
FAG (Schaeffler/INA) are very good.
No ABS.
